Naming of Judith

[Joeytrom]

Edith may have had some say in the naming as Judith sounds like the female name for Judah....Judah Zachary!

Not sure how much I can buy Edith naming Judith after Judah. Particularly given how he screwed her over.

It's a name with a really interesting biblical antecedent though and some amazing artwork was inspired by the story, which in light of future plot developments and a certain character whose plans are contrary to her interests is kind of interesting.

Very interesting indeed! And interesting site as well.  This lady takes no nonsense!!

(Who knows, maybe she does have some of Judah's blood in her.)  ;-)
